Exclamation •• OBD Fusion/Link - Vehicle Diagnostic Tool

PID Screenshots


This app has been been discussed in a couple separate threads but I thought it might be good to bring it all together into one spot.

Firmware revision history for the OBDLink MX+
======================
It should work with any ELM327 adapter but it is $9.99 for every different year and vehicle you add to the program. This would be '96-Present for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Nissan, Infiniti, Toyota, Lexus, Scion and GM

If you use one of their supported adapters you get full access to all years and vehicle brands above.

OBD Link adapter

So far it appears this is the best "portable" Techstream option for troubleshooting. Techstream has it's place with programming options but this clearly has a lot of advantages and is basically plug and play to get going. We can all help each other so much better when someone can pull the codes on an electronic failure. Otherwise it is often a guessing game.

I will eventually post a video of how to connect and setup but posts below will have screenshots of what functions can be monitored in gauges as this piece really isn't published.

•• No idea of everything in screenshots below are supported in 460 so report back on things that do and don't work.

•• You do need their adapter or genuine 2.x firmware ELM327 adapters to read TPMS.

Vendor told me once they fill out support for more brands they will work on the vehicle customization options like Carista has.

One item I have found this doesn't query or troubleshoot is the KDSS module. It will show up but no PIDs will be identified when scanning the module. Something developer is still trying to crack. If you become aware of any with other apps let me know.

Is the MX+ worth the extra $30 over the LX? I'm seeing the only difference between the OBDLink LX and the MX+ is Single-Wire CAN (GMLAN) & Ford Medium-Speed CAN (MS-CAN)?

At the time time I picked up it was the only model of theirs that supported TPMS.

[Post 100] https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...l#post10489499

You might to reach out to their support to see if the LX now supports this

"The MX+ currently supports TPMS. The OBDLink LX and OBDLink MX BT will support TPMS with a future update. We're hoping to release this update soon.""

••••The MX also gives you all the $10 add-on packs for free. If you plan to use on multiple cars it could save some money.

Anyone aware of any '14+ modules that are not found?

Is BSM on '14+ detected?

How about LDA, Radar Cruise, PCS on all years?

I just tried my mx+, with obdlink app on my phone. I could not figure out how I can add tire pressure and AT temp on the dashboard. I did installed free add-on for my 2015 gx with no issues.

Also noticed power light stays green and Bluetooth light keeps blinking while car has been off for more than an hour. Hope it does not drain much battery

Thanks

Check in another hour or so... I have never timed it going to sleep but an hour seems like a long time.

You may need to reach out to support on that.

Does MX+ have latest firmware? SETTINGS ---> FIRMWARE UPDATE

Trying to do off memory and my phone no connect to vehicle

[Tire Pressure]

•Connect to "Tire Pressure Monitor" network when prompted
• Goto Dashboards
• Select MENU ---> Add Dashboard
• Select MENU ---> Add Display
• Digital Gauge
• Next
• PID
• Toyota, Lexus, Scion
• Tire Pressure Monitor
• ID Tire Inflation Pressure (you will have go through steps above starting at "Add Display" 5 times to get all TPMS sensors on that Dashboard you created.

Before going onto AT let me know how this goes.

Thanks a lot. This is very helpful. I just added all of these. Firmware updated too. Battery reading reduced to 11.7, I am bit concerned. Need to start engine and take a ride soon.
